Historic Racing Boat by Riva

Un Tunnel speciale che ci porta indietro nel tempo e ci permette un tuffo nella storia delle straordinarie barche da corsa create dal Cantiere Riva. Luci soffuse, musica ambient e foto in bianco e nero che ritraggono momenti emozionanti creando la giusta atmosfera nella quale immergere gli scafi dal passato glorioso. Riva Ronzino fu il primo a essere costruito e conserva intatto tutto il suo fascino.
Lia Riva ha voluto rendere omaggio a suo nonno, Serafino Riva, organizzando un evento esclusivo, durante il quale gli ospiti selezionati, i collezionisti, i piloti del GPH e la stampa internazionale potessero ammirare questi gioielli, selezionati tra le collezioni europee.
Partner della serata lo champagne Veuve Clicquot e i profumi ambientali del Dr. Vranjes. Un ringraziamento all’organizzazione di Style Lab Limited.
